Golden God?

Andy doesn't care much about this, but the old rascal's assertion that gold is a chicken that doesn't lay eggs can be used as a reference for Andy, but it is definitely not the Bible, and it can even be said that it is a worthless value view in this period.

Since the United States has made the dollar the only hegemonic currency. Gold is no longer directly pegged to the US dollar, and it has effectively become a risky asset. After all, the monetary properties of gold have been buried by snow.

The reason why Buffett thinks that gold is useless is that so many people agree with the belief that it is useless, because the first thing that all people who believe in the uselessness of gold is that the gold is placed in the underground storage room, and it costs so much cost to refine the gold and finally make the gold into gold bars and store it in the underground warehouse, and it also consumes a lot of manpower and material resources to guard, it seems that from this point of view, gold is not just a chicken that will not lay eggs in Buffett's cognition, but also a negative asset!

Warren Buffett is a stock god, and he can naturally say that gold is useless, but after all, his so-called set of value investments has only made him a stock god! The understanding of gold should not be measured by the cash flow and social consumption use of stocks, and the valuation itself is problematic from the perspective of stocks.

Gold is gold!

As Andy's financial knowledge and involvement in finance increased, he also saw the huge hole that the financial crisis had laid for the future.

Currency, only currency, no goods, currency currency needs to have both goods and currency. The U.S. dollar is backed by crude oil, so whoever threatens the status of the petrodollar will attack its opponents at all costs, and it will not hesitate to launch many wars for this purpose.

But what about other countries? Currency needs gold to tie up paper money, just like now, 700 billion dollars on the left, 4 trillion dollars on the right, all Nyima has become a sea... The money printing machines of various countries are running at full power, constantly printing money, and Andy feels that the future reshaping of the global monetary system will not be subject to human will.

In today's society, the world's assets are financialized, leveraged, credited, paper money, and electronic. All assets have become risky assets, where does people's confidence and sense of security in assets come from?

The time value of assets is the most stable among all assets, even if the monetary properties of gold have been hidden in the past 40 years, but gold is still gold, and the time value has never changed.

Of course, in the Celestial Empire, this kind of asset confidence and security has become a house, although it is only 70 years, but after all, it is the real wealth that an individual can hold for the longest time, not some floating wealth, so it will rise and fall...

Therefore, the world's currency is soaked in water in the next few years, without squeezing out the water, Andy will never give up his holding of gold, and this batch of gold is also his reliance and heritage, which can be used as a fulcrum to leverage more funds.

In the afternoon, Andy and his men met with Vivendi CEO Jean Renault in a luxurious conference room at the Four Seasons Hotel.

For Vivendi's request to raise the price again, Andy refused again with a smile, you must know that this time, Andy has been preparing for more than a month, just to teach General Electric a good lesson, if Vivendi is not interested, he doesn't mind stabbing them.

Since they are all fish on the board in his eyes, why should he compromise with the other party, even if the talks collapse, not only can he save $4.2 billion, but he can also cut a piece of meat on them when the time comes.

It's a big deal, wait until GE is cleaned up, and then restart negotiations, I believe that GE will communicate better at that time, and after the completion of the merger and acquisition, as the controller of NBC Universal, Andy will go back and clean up the French who don't know the current affairs, and if he doesn't get out of their urine, he is not capable!

But it's a pity that Vivendi didn't give Andy this opportunity to deal with them, for this very chicken rib 20% of the shares, Vivendi company has long been thrown out, but has always wanted to sell at a good price, hoping that the giant General Electric can complete the acquisition and make a big profit, but who knows that after waiting for a few years, it will encounter a financial storm, and General Electric will be difficult to protect itself, where can I still take out the money to buy this part of the irrelevant shares.

Vivendi's people can also be regarded as understanding, the young rich man in front of him is also the goods of his own chairman Vincent Bonori all the way, don't look at the smiling faces now and talk and laugh, but once they can't meet their own interests, they turn around and take out a knife and stick a knife, decisive and ruthless, despicable and shameless...

Thinking of the chairman of his own family from the 200-year-old Bonorui family, the process of using the method of encroachment to occupy the magpie's nest to control Vivendi seems to be the favorite method used by Andy Smith in front of him, which makes Renault complain again and again in his heart, none of these children of the family who can mix well are really good!

"Well, Mr. Smith, you win, and we agree with your offer. "Let Renault know that even if he says anything more, it will be a waste of time, it is clear that Andy Smith is calculating, even if they don't agree, it will not prevent him from implementing the plan, in order to avoid the disaster of the pond fish, since he can make money, why not agree, anyway, the investment in the acquisition of Universal Pictures has already been earned, and now this 20% of the shares can be sold for 4.2 billion US dollars, which is undoubtedly a very cost-effective deal for the performance of Vivendi.

"It's a win-win, happy cooperation!" Andy showed a happy smile on his face, shook hands with Jean Renault and a few others, and said politely on his lips, but in his heart he said, Lao Tzu won you twice!

"Originally, our chairman wanted to meet with Mr. Smith, but now he is in Peru with the president at the APCE meeting... ”

"Hehe, there will be a chance to meet in the future, this is a cashier's check, and it can be cashed on Monday. After speaking, Andy reached out and took a white envelope and handed it to Jean Renault, pressed the document he had just signed and the share transfer letter on his left hand, and showed a happy and bright smile. Andy naturally has some understanding of Vincent Bonore, but he didn't come to know any Bonorei family members this time.

When the person who sent Vivendi away, Andy looked at the share certificate and share transfer letter in the transaction contract, and showed a charming smile with satisfaction, finally, completed the most critical step, now just wait until the stock market opens on Monday, Andy can implement the plan to crack down on General Electric, and after communicating with Vivendi, finally both parties agreed to announce the deal on Monday morning, well, this can be regarded as joining forces to pit GE together!
